Bottle Iced Tea: POM Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea

It's finally warm here in the wilds of NJ, and I'm celebrating the day by reviewing bottled iced tea.  POM makes several bottled iced teas with pomegranate as a main ingredient.  Today I picked up Pomegranate Peach Passion White Tea.

Although it claims to be tea, there's very little tea flavoring here.  There's an ending bit of tea-like bitterness but the primary flavor is sweet and fruity.  There's no high fructose corn syrup, which makes it tolerably sweet rather than sickly sweet.  The sweetness comes from fruit juices and extracts.

The other "flaw" with the tea lies in its low caffeine content.   This is, at best, a refreshing afternoon or evening fruit punch.  Don't get me wrong: I like it.  But it isn't tea.
